Delayed Periods And Have Cramps. Am I Protected As I Have Left Nuvaring Recently?

Hi , I left my nuvaring in for 6 weeks and took it out last Tuesday and still don t have a period but do have cramps. I ve also been having unprotected sex the last 6 week. What precaution should I take? So I insert a new ring on Tuesday? Am I not protected by nuvaring after 4 weeks?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

You are not protected and it is best to use other forms of conception till you get your nexr nuvaring placed (eg. Condoms, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
